Flash Flood Guidance

Posted: 18 Apr 2017 05:33 AM

The River Forecast Centers of the NWS issue Flash Flood Guidance for estimated rainfall totals over a given amount of time needed to begin flash flooding. These totals are not appropriate for steeped nor urban areas. The featured map presents the county/forecast zone estimates from last evening. Most of Iowa is in the 1.5 to 2 inch range. Our recent wet weather and upcoming storms have some concern for more flash flooding to occur.
